Transperth acting director Mark Burgess said anyone who used these services could get a new timetable on the bus, from Transperth’s Information Centres in Perth, or through the organisation’s website (www.transperth.wa.gov.au).
”This review reflects Transperth’s commitment to providing residents with more frequent services and improved public transport options – the changes provide better access for students travelling to Curtin University from Perth and Cannington,” Mr Burgess said.
